Inn at Black Star Farms Bed & Breakfast

Black Star Farms is a unique agricultural destination that features two winery production facilities with adjacent tasting rooms, a distillery, Inn, and equestrian facility. Our winery and distillery produce some of the most sought after and awarded Michigan wines and spirits. Our luxurious Inn is the perfect place to host private special events including weddings, corporate retreats, and family celebrations. Casual and upscale farmstead cuisine are available seasonally at Hearth and Vine and the inn. Nearby, visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, voted the Most Beautiful Place in America by viewers of ABC's Good Morning America.

We have ten contemporary guest rooms named for various stars in the Northern galaxy. Each has its own private bath, some have fireplaces or spa tubs. Rooms are outfitted with fine furniture and designer fabrics. The beds are made with luxurious linens and down comforters. Both down and synthetic pillows abound for your comfort.

A complimentary bottle of our "Red House" wine awaits your arrival. We have cozy robes and feature Aveda toiletries and a hairdryer in each bathroom. All guest rooms have phones and satellite TV. Irons and ironing boards are available.

Guests are invited to use our sunning decks. Our Innkeeper will reserve the sauna/spa room for your private use, and you can also book a relaxing massage. The Pegasus bar welcomes you for pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres and our own wine. The adjacent library boasts books, magazines, board games, puzzles, and a game table for a hand of cards.

Our 160 acres of orchards, vineyards, and wooded trails are yours to explore by foot, cycle, x-country ski, or snowshoe. Our stables and riding trails are available to guests who bring their own horses.

Visit the tasting room on site to sample our wines, watch our winemakers in their natural habitats, and find that special something to remind you of us once you're back home...and don't forget the wine!

Breakfast is a not to be forgotten gourmet experience with fresh fruit, juices, homemade baked goods and granola, an incredible hot entree, and, of course, tea and locally roasted coffee. Combine this with an afternoon snack and a pre-dinner wine and hors d'oeuvre reception for a day that is deliciously complete.

Artfully prepared dinners are available seasonally at our onsite Hearth and Vine restaurant.

Make your stay extra special with a bouquet of flowers, bottle of Black Star Farms' wine, or whatever you can dream up.
